Paint a rainbow fan

So I don't know about you, but this DIY rainbow fan has been stuck in my mind. What? You can see primary colors mixing in front of your very eyes? Amazing! I felt so inspired that I made my own version. Here's my DIY rainbow fan:

Oooh. Circular rainbow! I just think it's so cool that the blades are painted different combinations of red, yellow, or blue. Yon can only see the rainbow when the fan is turned on. Whoa, right?

Here's how I created each color of the rainbow (from innermost ring to outermost ring):

Red- Three red blade bands

Orange- Two red and one yellow blade bands

Yellow- Three yellow blade bands

Green- One yellow and two blue blade bands

Blue- Three blue blade bands

Purple- Two red and one blue blade bands

5. Now comes the hardest part. Wait for the paint to dry! Don't turn on the fan on before the paint is completely dry. (I was impatient and ended up splattering paint.)

6. Once your paint dries, carefully remove the Painter's tape. (When removing the Painter's tape, I ripped off a bit of my craft paint. No worries, I just fixed up the botched up part with more red paint.)

My fan looks like this without the grill on:

And here's what the fan looks like turned on:

Neat right? This colorful fan now resides in Chuck's room. He loves pressing the buttons and I love seeing the lovely colors.
